Infamous <cite>Super Mario</cite> Clone Coming to Nintendo DS

Despite being a blatant Super Mario Bros. clone, The Great Giana Sisters was one of the best platforming games of the late 80s – and now, thanks to dtp Entertainment, it's coming to the Nintendo DS.

Developed by Giana creator Armin Gessert's Spellbound Studios, and featuring a soundtrack full of remixed versions of the original game's tunes and updated 2-D graphics, the new version hits European store shelves in June 2009

Unfortunately, Nintendo's tireless legal crusade against the game when it was first released led to The Great Giana Sisters being almost unknown here in the U.S. It wouldn't be very surprising if the updated version skipped our part of the planet due to perceived lack of gamer interest.
